“The new station will play a curated selection of songs based on what you’ve been listening to but haven’t heard before.”

Looks interesting. To me, Apple’s curated playlists have always been superior in quality to Spotify’s but they really don’t have as vas of a selection of curated playlists. Apple Music stations are often excellent, too, if you know how to crate them.

It's a bit late, but hey I will take it still. I tend to have pretty bad luck with discovery apps as I have narrow musical tastes, but I will give it a shot for a while.

I have had the most luck with the custom Apple Music stations honestly, seems to have the best balance of songs I know and like with newer stuff in the same vein. I am not sure I would spend as much time on a playlist entirely composed of new things.

Tell me about it. So often ... I'm thinking to myself ... "sighs ... it's not about the genre ... it's about being good".

There’s this song from a Dutch band that I like, but when I start a station with it, I just know it will misinterpret the reason why I like that particular song and inevitably it’ll start playing random songs by Dutch bands.
